Made More Oven Mitts, In Cranberry and Orange

Not Halloween fabric but I am working with orange. :D

I just wanted to see how the cranberry fabric would look as an oven mitt trimmed in orange. I kept thinking about it. So… I made one. Then a second one. Can’t have mismatched oven mitts when removing a casserole, now can you?

Did you see my oven mitt tutorial? I am loving making them. Hope you will try it.

Here’s what the latest looks like.

I love how this orange polka dot strip came out. To tell the truth. It happened by accident. By mistake, I cut too deeply into the “V” thumb area of the top fabric. So when I sewed around it trying to cover the cut, it bunched unsightly. So, the patch to the rescue.

I used some of the fabrics I used to make the cranberry and orange table mats. Not all of them, since I wasn’t completely sure if one was 100% cotton. Better safe than sorry.

I have accumulated a nice little bag of scraps from this project. Any suggestions on what to make with them?

Well, back to staring at my Halloween fabrics and hoping for an idea to pop up.
